Trump DOGE attacks and tariffs attack should be called terrorism.
A bunch of terrorists storm the Capitol and try to end democracy; they get a pardon. Property damage on shitty cars? Terrorism.
Protesting with a cardboard sign, or using they/them pronouns- those folks are the real threats.
It offends them... fucking snowflakes
Given that this administration is now arresting and deporting people for speech, it will not take much for ‘vandalism is terrorism’ to become ‘speech is terrorism’ when it comes to Tesla. Coming up on this trajectory are: people getting arrested for boycotting Tesla, people getting arrested for posting memes about Tesla, people getting arrested for the hate crime of flipping off Tesla drivers, Tesla ownership as a protected class.
Elon is such a loser. He built a fortune on government contracts, reselling carbon credits, and committing labor and SEC crimes. He then turned around and is dismantling the government that made all that possible, and is now relying on that government to shore up his failing market position and protect him from the buying public.
'vandalism is terrorism’ to become ‘speech is terrorism'
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
Oh... My American friends, that book was not supposed to be used as user manual.
Dont you dare insult the peoples wagon!!
It's still the kdf-wagen at this point.
you get one free brown shirt with every purchase!
Just wait until everyone has to buy a Tesla or they get arrested!
*shore up
One persons terrorist is another persons freedom fighter...
What does he call it when Tesla and Musk steal $43 million from the Canadian government in grants for EVs, they did that last weekend where it appeared that Tesla was selling a vehicle every 2 minutes to take advantage of an incentive plan for people buying EVs..
I hope the Canadian government investigates and stops any payments and issues fines equal to what they stole.
By the way, they probably did something similar to steal the election in the US, the republicans sure went pretty quiet really fast.
I really think Americans need to stand up and dispose of their corrupt government.
What does he call it? "Smart", like all scams
I'll give him credit, he is smart enough to milk government cash whenever possible.
It's merely the cost of doing business like a criminal.
Cry like a baby all you want.
Trump is domestic terrorism.
Trump should negotiate with these terrorists. Give them 25% of dealerships, the US gets 50% of the remaining dealershil profits and make Musk thank Trump for this amazing deal because Musk doesn't have the cards
TIL it is illegal to not buy a Tesla. Is that just when I'm in the market for a car or all the time?
Only when you're in the market. If you're not in the market he'll sue you into it.
But dismantling the government is fine
Systemic violence doesn't count silly
Those people that are going to die are just lazy and they deserve it. They should've just pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and quit being poor before the funding was cut. /s
Definitely my favorite conversation with Lucifer thus far 🤣
As is breaking into the Capitol to try and overthrow the government while getting half a dozen people killed.
Nothing he things about anything counts.
What a filthy thing to call these lovely, flammable tourists! They are all about peace and love and occasionally bursting into flames near car batteries.
trump should be called prisoner #19226
